About The RoleWe are seeking a proactive, highly driven Account Executive with a passion for early-stage startup growth. In this role, you manage inbound interest and take complete ownership of your territory as a true builder and self-sourcer. If you excel at identifying high-value target accounts, prospecting into VP and C-Suite leaders, and systematically generating your own pipeline from scratch, you will thrive here.
This is a great chance to join an early sales team at a company with real product-market fit. You'll be closing real deals, with a focus on Commercial accounts, while helping shape the sales motion, the pitch, and the culture of a team that will grow significantly over the next 12-24 months. You won't be fighting over scraps. AEs at Vantage operate with large territories. The financial upside (salary, uncapped commission, and equity) reflects the early-stage opportunity this is.
What You Will Do- Systematically research, identify, and prospect key decision-makers across target accounts using creative outbound strategies, cold outreach, and multi-channel sequencing to maintain a high-volume, healthy sales pipeline
- Own the full sales cycle from discovery through close for commercial accounts
- Run structured, consultative discovery to understand how prospects think about cloud costs and map Vantage's capabilities to their specific pain
- Work closely with the SDR team on inbound pipeline while proactively sourcing your own opportunities
- Partner with Solutions Engineering and Customer Success to deliver compelling demos and smooth handoffs
- Contribute to playbook development; you'll be one of the first AEs, and what you learn will shape how the team operates
- Provide market feedback to Product and Marketing based on what you're hearing in the field
What We're Looking For- 3-6 years of B2B SaaS sales experience, ideally in developer tools, infrastructure, or fintech
- Track record of hitting or exceeding quota in a closing role
- Comfort selling to a dual persona: engineers who care about product quality and finance/ops leaders who care about ROI
- Strong discovery instincts: you ask good questions and know how to surface real pain, not just surface-level interest
- Startup mentality: you thrive with autonomy, don't wait for a perfect playbook, and treat ambiguity as opportunity
- Curiosity about cloud infrastructure
- A kind person
Bonus Points- Experience selling to FinOps, platform engineering, or cloud infrastructure teams
- Familiarity with tools like AWS Cost Explorer, Datadog, Snowflake, or Kubernetes
- Prior experience at a company that went from early-stage to scale
At this time, Vantage is only set up to employ in the United States
